Power substation attacks force Pinehurst to close clubhouse, leave resort with limited power

Tens of thousands of Duke Energy customers in Moore Country, North Carolina, lost power after police say two power substations were intentionally damaged by gunfire on Saturday night.

The list of those affected includes Pinehurst Resort.

According to Pinehurst’s website, parts of the resort, including all its golf courses, remain open, but the main clubhouse has been closed among other temporary changes.

“While Pinehurst Resort has been affected by the widespread power outage in Moore County, we are working diligently to provide our guests with the best experience possible given these challenging circumstances,” the resort said in a statement.
